1 vs 1 (1)

The recent Territory War has been blazing hot.

Last time, I got pissed off because of Gamhabew and charged into the [Evolution] camp alone, only to be defeated by the overwhelming number of users. Then, those users had a chat session, which turned into something like a fan meeting, and the rumor spread.

Clearly, Territory War is supposed to be about killing the opponent and occupying specific areas, but for some reason, the number of debuffing Enchanters has increased.

Enchanters aren’t very efficient in large-scale PVP. The reason is that Enchanters can’t spread debuffs in a wide area, so they’re not effective.

But after the fan meeting rumor spread, the number of Enchanters noticeably increased, all to capture me alive.

How did I know they were trying to capture me alive?

“There she is!”

“The Princess is over there!!!”

“A Party, pressure the front to eliminate the Princess’s aides! B Party, debuff the Princess! C Party, block the Princess’s escape routes!”

At a glance, nearly a hundred users were swarming the territory I was currently in charge of.

Until recently, the difference in numbers between the [Evolution] alliance and the [Munchkin Cat] alliance wasn’t that significant.

But suddenly, the [Evolution] alliance’s numbers increased dramatically, and they started overwhelming us with a zerg rush during Territory War.

I was momentarily stunned by the command from the commander leading [Evolution], which could be heard from afar.

“What the hell are they saying right now?”

Soonchu, who was next to me, said, and I nodded.

Normally, even at most, about 50 people come to one territory.

“Heeak… There are almost over 100 people rushing at us right now? Is this for real?”

Belly Blanket, who now spends all day logged into LORE after the track and field competition and massages my belly for 30 minutes every day, seemed scared, pulling his head back and frowning.

Of course, I had the same reaction as Belly Blanket.

Overwhelmed by the massive numbers of the [Evolution] alliance, our alliance’s overseas users, who were defending the territory with us, shouted.

“Princess-nim, run away! We’ll buy you time!!!”

“Don’t worry about us! We’ll definitely follow you!!!”

No, no, why are they suddenly spouting flag lines?

Right now, the users’ emotional investment makes it feel like reality, not a game. Well, I’m glad that they like LORE that much and enjoy the current alliance war…

I came here to fight, you know.

Come to think of it, Gamhabew hasn’t even logged in recently. I need to kill him every time I see him.

I guess he’s probably getting his soul completely reamed by Anna.

“No. I’m going to fight too.”

“Princess-nim!!!”

There’s no reason to run away, and this place is currently a strategically important territory.

If this place is breached, it will be difficult to defend the two territories behind it.

Defending here is a passage and a way to automatically defend the two territories behind it, so if this place is breached, two more will automatically be handed over to [Evolution], so we must defend it.

I’ve already confirmed those numbers and quickly asked for reinforcements in our alliance’s chat room, so we have to hold out here.

“Let’s definitely stop them. There’s no retreat, let’s all plan on dying here.”

“”For the Princess-nim!!!””

The overseas users knelt towards me like knights and shouted loudly, renewing their fighting spirit.

Seeing that, the Korean users also joined in, getting overly immersed like the overseas users. Soonchu and Belly Blanket, seeing that, smiled at me and then came slightly behind me, striking a pose as if they were my aides, which made me feel a little dizzy.

Everyone is too serious about this role-playing.

==

Kwaang!!! Kwang! Pupeopeopeong!

“Keuaaaaaak! P, Princess-nim! Princess-nim, you must! Keuheok!”

“Damn it, there are too many of them! Isn’t this too much!!!”

Our side is definitely overwhelmingly better in skill.

Since this territory is important, it’s made up of skilled players, all users who have been seen at least once in the LORE logs.

But there were just too many [Evolution] users.

No matter how much one person does the work of 2-3 people, their numbers are almost 5 times greater than ours, so our side’s healers can’t keep up with the opponent’s damage.

No, putting aside keeping up, just 20-30 dealers pouring skills on one person, and before you know it, people are dying one by one.

Whether they heal or not, they just pick one person at a time and focus fire, so they can’t even think about holding out and just start getting swept away.

Thinking that the territory would definitely be taken away if the current situation continued, I drew the Other-Mind Sword and charged straight into the enemy lines.

“Princess-nim!”

“Arang-a!”

They were flustered by my sudden decision from behind, but I also had something to rely on.

The reason is because of the command the commander over there said earlier.

They’re thinking of capturing me right now. Their goal isn’t to kill me, but to subdue me.

It seems the story of the 15-person fan meeting from last time has spread.

They seem to be thinking of capturing me and having a fan meeting together.

But it’s too late.

That complacency is why our [Munchkin Cat] alliance will win this Territory War.

I started running away like crazy less than 5 minutes after thinking that.

“Why are there so many Enchanters in Territory War!!!”

No matter how good my physical skills are, I can’t dodge attacks like in the Matrix movie during attacking motions.

No, even in the Matrix, when dodging bullets, they stop and move their bodies to dodge.

“The Princess is getting tired! Enchanters without mana, fall back, and tanks, mark her firmly so she can’t escape!”

Everyone tried to protect me, but the enemy seemed to have predicted the moment I charged in, quickly placing tanks between me and the [Munchkin Cat] alliance, blocking the retreat and our alliance’s support.

They must have come with a firm resolve, moving in perfect order as soon as the commander spoke clearly.

“Arang-a, be careful!”

“Arang-a, just hold on a little longer! I’m coming!”

Soonchu and Belly Blanket were shouting and fighting from afar, but I realized that they had come with more determination than I thought and felt that the situation was dangerous.

‘They’re this serious…?’

I came to do war content, but suddenly a 1 vs 100 situation from an old AV video unfolded.

100 people are fighting to capture me and have a fan meeting, and I’m running away, and our alliance users are there to protect me…

It’s really 1 vs 100?

I felt a slight chill run down my spine.

With the mindset that I absolutely must not be caught, I tried to avoid the Enchanters’ debuffs as much as possible and used the users trying to capture me as meat shields to buy as much time as possible.

In the current situation, it’s impossible for me to break through those many healers and kill users. In the end, buying time is everything.

Due to LORE’s characteristics, the high-performance AI imposes sanctions on physical contact that is not combat-related, such as grabbing or hugging, so it’s more manageable than I thought.

If it was just about killing, I would have lost without being able to do anything, but the opponent’s goal is to capture me.

And this situation happened just recently, and I’ve accumulated data, so I started rampaging against 100 people.

Actually, it’s said to be 100 people, but 70 people are blocking our alliance from helping me, and 30 people are trying to capture me, but if you think about it, 100 people are moving to capture me.

“Haa… Haa…”

I was dribbling against 30 people without any problems, but a problem arose.

It was more difficult than dealing with 15 people, but I was barely managing because I’m a genius, but my stamina started to run out.

Stamina is usually never lacking once you reach the level cap, so I sometimes wondered if stamina was useless.

But after fighting so many people for so long, I lacked the stamina to parry, and worst of all, my body slowed down due to stamina depletion.

That slowness increased as the time without stamina increased, and as I started getting debuffed one by one, I was subdued in an instant.

Three Enchanters cast a bunch of debuffs on me, the tanks interfered with my movements, and the ranged dealers used the CC skills they each had, and I was eventually captured.

It’s said that I was captured, but they’re keeping a distance of about 2M from me.

“Um… Is it okay if I approach you?”

A female user who seemed to be an executive of the alliance cautiously approached me, who couldn’t move my body due to CC.

Nod.

As I nodded in agreement, the female user came next to me.

The male users continued to maintain 2M, and a beauty who I, whose standards of beauty have been raised a lot because there are so many beautiful people next to me, thought was pretty whispered to me.

“W-Well, I don’t mean any harm, but w-would it be okay if I picked Arang-nim up…!?”

I knew she was going to do something weird again, but curious about what she would do, I nodded again.

As soon as she received my permission, the female user smiled brightly, put her hands under my armpits, lifted me up, and shouted.

“We won!!! We’re kidnapping Arang-i!!!”

The [Munchkin Cat] alliance users, seeing me captured, tried to chase after me like crazy to save me.

But the users who had captured me joined in, and our remaining 15 people were no match for the nearly 100 users.

“You incompetent bastards! We’re taking this cute Arang-i with us!”

As soon as she said that, our alliance users in the distance let out screams close to despair, and the female user and the [Evolution] users shouted in victory and started running away quickly with me in their arms.

Are they not even going to occupy the territory?
